| - I really like this Starbucks. Instead of the understaffing problem you find at some other Starbucks locations, this Starbucks is almost always fully staffed, at least whenever I go, likely the result of a higher than normal sales volume given its central location. No pun intended. This means a higher service delivery to customers and great response time to go with it.
To give you an idea, only a mere few weeks after the "Toasted coconut cold brew" special was released for the summer, this location ran out, even of backstock volume for the entire season. THAT'S how busy this place is! (Fear not by the way, the baristas have fantastic recommendations for when they're out of stock on a flavor, again, they REALLY ensure customer satisfaction big time at this particular Starbucks).
The drinks I order vary, but again, I've never been dissatisfied.
The number of AC power outlets here, good god there's plenty go with! So it's great for those of us working professionals that need a place other than home and work to study or do other stuff.
Not to mention the separate conference room that you can rent out or chill in when it's not reserved.
Internet is fast. Central Phoenix is one of the few places that offers fiber internet, and while their wireless router doesn't support 1000 Mbps per connection, I'll take its existing 150-300 Mbps that I currently get there, it sure as hell beats the under-50 Mbps connections I've seen in other parts of metropolitan Phoenix (I'm looking at you, Scottsdale and Mesa...)
For those of you that like to work outside but hate the heat, fear not! There are misters that mist the entire patio area of the Starbucks.
Also, there is a drive thru at this location, so for those of you on the go, you have that option here :)
Only negative I can give this place, and isn't really specifically for the business itself, is the shopping center it's in. The Starbucks shares the same parking lot as a very busy Sprouts store, so when double ad Wednesday strikes at the nearby Sprouts, parking gets slammed at Starbucks fast. Since the parking spots at Starbucks aren't labeled "Starbucks customer only", you end up having Sprouts customers parking nearby which vampire-drains the Starbucks. Bad Sprouts shoppers...
